CICELY TYSON

Although Cicely Tyson is 96, you won’t be able to guess that, seeing as she looks so young and still acting as she recently featured in movies in 2017. She must be enjoying her time in the spotlight as she has no plans of retiring anytime soon but has most likely created an insurance and retirement plan to avoid bankruptcy if the case arises. The veteran actress has proven that age doesn’t matter when it comes to acting and modeling.

Tyson began modeling when she was 18 years old and was discovered by an Ebony magazine photographer. Her career as a model boomed, making her one of the most popular catwalkers at the time. In 1972, she played Rebecca Morgan in the film Sounder, where she racked two nominations from both Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards. She was inducted in both the American Theater Hall of Fame and Television Academy’s Hall of Fame.
